This is one of the deepest Derby fields in years. Probably 5 or 6 of this years entrants would have been the favorite in most other Derby's. It's an outstanding field.
I'm off to the sports book for my Derby bet. Here's my take and what I'm doing...
As I said earlier this is a very deep very contentious field.
I'm going to play the trifecta and only the trifecta. I'm going to try and hit a box exacta and pick up the trifecta as a result.
So here's my trifecta bet...
#5 Audible & # 11 Bolt d'Oro
with
#5 Audible & #11 Bot d'Oro
with
ALL (the rest of the field)
If Audible & Bolt d'Oro run one-two in either order then I hit what could be a big payoff trifecta (depending on who runs third)
the favorite then winning is like saying I like UCLA in the 60's, the Lakers in the 80's, the Bulls in the 90's, the Yankees in the 90's.....Yawn....
Favorites win 28% of the time, just sux when its on a day when I watch coverage all day.....Win or lose, The favorite draws inside the first 8, closers had so much mud on their goggles that they might as well have been blindfolded, and the rail gate bias was worse than Dubai
Another Waste of a day,
SIX STRAIGHT Favorites win the Derby...... 125 year record......
A whopping ONE horse gained ground with mud all over his face.....on the rail bias....Audible
